The Questa High School varsity girls basketball team lost their opening 2A state tournament match to the visiting Laguna Acoma Lady Hawks at the Mini Pit on Saturday (March 8), 53-49.
Foul trouble plagued the Questa starters early in the game, putting the Ladycats on their back foot for the second half. However, the home team's bench gave the Questa team a boost as they defended well against their opponents offensive tactics throughout the third and fourth quarters.
Almost every possession was a battle, with both squads diving and scrapping for every loose ball in the contest.
Despite strong offensive possessions in the third, the exhausted Ladycats struggled to sink their free throws in the fourth quarter — all the Lady Hawks had to do was dribble out the clock.
With this loss, the Ladycats exit the 2A state bracket with an 8-2 district and an overall record 20-7. Questa senior Alexis Brown led her team with a 17-point performance.
